When is it better to replace a shop shutter than repair it? Replacement starts to make sense when the repair would cost more than about half the price of a new shutter, or when the curtain, barrel and motor are all near the end of their life. The engineer prices both options so you can compare.
What are the signs you need shop shutter replacement?
- Repair would cost more than half a new shutter
- Curtain, barrel and motor are all worn
- Shutter no longer suits the shopfront
- Insurer wants a higher security rating
What does the engineer do?
- Survey and measure the opening
- Quote options for manual, electric, solid, perforated or grille
- Remove and dispose of the old shutter
- Fit, commission and hand over
Prices vary with shutter width, the make and model, whether parts are in stock and whether you need an out-of-hours visit. You receive the exact figure in writing once the fault has been diagnosed, and nothing is fitted until you agree it.
Common questions
When is it better to replace a shop shutter than repair it?
Replacement starts to make sense when the repair would cost more than about half the price of a new shutter, or when the curtain, barrel and motor are all near the end of their life. The engineer prices both options so you can compare.
How much does shop shutter replacement cost?
A typical guide price is £1,100 to £3,200 excluding VAT. Shutter width, make, parts availability and out-of-hours attendance move the figure up or down, and the final price is confirmed in writing before work starts.
How quickly can an engineer attend?
Planned repairs are usually booked within a few working days. Shutters stuck open or shut are treated as emergencies and given the next available slot in your area.
Who carries out the repair?
An engineer who specialises in roller shutters. The written quote names the company carrying out and invoicing the work before you agree to go ahead.
